How to Compress Images for Email

Email attachments do not need camera-original file sizes in most everyday workflows.

Make a compressed copy before sending so the message uploads faster and is easier to receive.

Recommended tool

Open Compress Image

Compress a copy, not the original

Keep the original image in case you need full quality later.

Use a compressed duplicate for email attachments.

Resize large photos first

If a photo is several thousand pixels wide, resizing it can reduce size more than compression alone.

A 1920px wide copy is often enough for review, sharing, and documentation.

Check readability

For screenshots or documents, make sure text is still readable before sending.

Use a higher quality setting when small text matters.
